For anyone who needs to replace their clutch slave cyl, the haynes manual says:

Perform all steps necessary to remove the clutch and bellhousing in order to replace the slave cylinder.

Hrm. That would be terrible if you had to change the clutch disc and remove the bellhousing in order to change the slave! For me it was life or death since I needed the car in a day. Clutch jobs usually take 2 days minimum, or 2 weeks if you have any bolts that get stuck, correct? Anyway luckily the Haynes was wrong again.

This is worse than the place in the haynes where it says;
"Place the car on jack stands in order to reset the OXS warning light".

Ha Ha Ha.

Somewhere in this manual it must say that it is mandatory to remove the left rear wheel before checking your engine oil. Is it also mandatory that one lifts his left leg and hop like a donkey when filling the car with gas? I don't know about you, but I do.

If following the haynes, the valve lash settings and torque specs will cause serious damage to your engine, and the instructions will cause you to spend days working on the car.

I can not believe how all these mistakes entered this manual. The bottom line is that if the manual got revised it WOULD be a great manual to have.
